So right now I feel as though I have been living the best of all of the worlds that I love - sailing, interior design, and webpage/social media design. These last few weeknds have been full of sailing, friends, and road trips to all parts of south Florida. Pictures below of this past weekend (where it was blowing over 30 and we succussfully sailed halfway through the channel leading into the visitor's center - no engine on mind you!) and of New Years weekend where we sailed, powerboated, lit fireworks, and met new friends both from the sailing, kayaking, and park ranger departments.

One of my favorite things about being an Interior Designer is getting to create photo realistic 3D renderings. To me there is nothing quite like getting to see an idea come to life months before it has even gone out to bid. A favorite one I have been helping to create is this modern, Mediterranean beauty. This is the 2nd level family/game room addition, first floor photos to come within the next few months with gorgeous cement tiles we found in Tampa last week!

This month has been so busy, yet so much fun! I flew to Oriental, North Carolina where I keep my baby boat, Bandit and met my parents to have her hauled out from River Dunes and put up for sale. I hadn't sailed her as much as I had liked - as I moved away almost as soon as we splashed her. I had the flu that weekend but had a blast raising her sails again, even if it was freezing temperatures. We had a little bit of a delayed start as her carburetor had gotten gunked up in the few months since we last sailed her. It took my Dad, Rich and I about 2 hours of pulling to get her cleaned out and back to normal.

If you'd like to buy her, she is in Oriental, NC and are asking $8,000 for her. She comes with 3 sails, new motor, custom trailer and more! (post to come soon of all her details). I can be reached at liveaboardslogbook@gmail.com to answer any questions!
